AKAI SOLO ~ ZekeUltra ~ akasmoko ~ Zom6ii
AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 8:00 PM AKAI SOLO: https://akaisolo.bandcamp.com/music “AKAI’s work has always been steeped in the pursuit of self-discovery, with albums like Spirit Roaming and Ride Alone, Fly Together presenting raw meditations on resilience. He doesn’t have a singular philosophy; instead, he seeks knowledge from every source he can find, clinging to the bits that resonate with him most… Following AKAI’s esoteric examinations can be difficult, demanding the kind of close listening that’s difficult to schedule in our modern era. Still, the rewards are great; the gems he buries in each verse are well worth the effort it takes to excavate them.” – Pitchfork ZekeUltra: https://zekeultra.komi.io “Emerging from that place where hip-hop slurs into ambience and where rap is just a hypnogogic mumble, is Delaware (US) based MC/producer ZekeUltra, who excels in warped and worn beats and woozy, near ambient textures, over which he declaims his truth. Ultra’s intelligent, introspective rhymes are at turns heartbroken and confessional, anomic and brooding, sometimes resigned, at other times optimistic, with a healthy dose of humor to prevent the narrative from traversing too dark a path.” -ForcedExposure akasmoko: https://linktr.ee/omasmoko zom6ii: https://linktr.ee/zom6ii

***MOVED TO FRANKY BRADLEY’S*** Dylan Reese ~ Dylan Owen ~ Bowdizz ~ T-Burk ~ BMAR
AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Dylan ReeseDylan Reese is originally from Chicopee, MA. From a young age, he was determined to carve out a lane for himself in the music industry. As an artist, he’s done just that – collaborating with the likes of Musiq Soulchild, Twista & Paul Wall, along with more notable names and a handful of rising peers. Dylan has also been fortunate enough to tour all over North America, as both support + a regional headlining act. If you like 90’s-2000’s R&B, you’ll more than likely find a ton of songs that you enjoy within his catalog (over 200 songs released). Delivering buttery vocals & thoughtful storytelling on top of memorable yet classic sounding production; Dylan will continue to reach new ears in an inevitable new way.https://www.instagram.com/dylanreesemusic Dylan Owen Out of the sleepy small towns of Orange County, NY, alternative rap artist Dylan Owen has become a beacon of light for tens of thousands of ardent listeners who come from towns such as these and beyond; who turn to his songs of introspection and wonder and struggle as a soundtrack to their lives, and a kind of navigation device. His vulnerable, poetic rap songwriting has generated press comparisons to alternative icons Conor Oberst and Elliott Smith, and he has collaborated with rap peers Abhi The Nomad, Watsky, Abstract, Kinetics & One Love and opened a tour date for Mac Miller. Dylan possesses disarming technical prowess as an emcee, and has, alongside longtime producer Skinny Atlas, formed production palettes from alternative rap to pop to folk—where neither DJ scratches nor a live violin or trumpet are out of place. Through breakout EPs There’s More To Life and Keep Your Friends Close and fan-facing efforts such as his self-published book and Coffee with Dylan series, he has fostered a deeply engrossed and active community that sell out his shows, tattoo his lyrics, buy merch from every drop (from which the proceeds benefit mental health causes), and compose thousands of heartfelt social media messages. What sustains Dylan is his ongoing quest to carve out meaning from his journey for himself and others, and to give it away so that it might empower his listeners, who prove to him time and time again that there is more to lifehttps://www.instagram.com/dylanowenmusic Bowdizzhttps://www.instagram.com/bowdizz9 T-Burkhttps://www.instagram.com/tburkmusic/ BMARhttps://www.instagram.com/bmar_music/
